What an excellent read ✅👏🏽

Highly recommend! I loved how the author (Evelyn Fox Keller) really dived deep into the concept of “understanding” or a feeling for the organism and on the role of “intuition” in making discoveries.

A lot to think about too: few permanent positions, science in war …!

New OA Article: "Assembly-dependent translational feedback regulation of photosynthetic proteins in land plants" rdcu.be/eBbQ6

Algae fine-tune protein synthesis to assembly demands of photosynthetic complexes. In land plants, this feedback control varies or is absent.

#CampusVisit
Students of grades 11 and 12 from Carmel Academy, Bengaluru, visited NCBS for an insightful campus visit.
They actively engaged with graduate students from the laboratories of Profs Sanjay Sane, Aswin Sai Narain Seshasayee and P. V. Shivaprasad.

Seeing this Nature cover art for first time from the Crick selfish dna article.
Reminds me of this joke:
Why do crustacean genomes contain a lot of transposons ? It’s shellfish DNA
